Two PA gymnasts place high at Western Canada Cup
Two Prince Albert boys combined for four medals last week at the Western Canada Cup gymnastics tournament in Port Moody, B.C.
Prince Albert Aerials gymnast Connor Pritchard took home a pair of gold medals in trampoline and tumbling, while teammate Brent Ertman earned silver medals in the same events.
Pritchard considers his strengths in tumbling and wasn’t sure how brightly his trampoline skills would shine at the Western Canada scale. When he was awarded a gold in that, he was quite surprised.
“I was really surprised to get first in tramp,” said Pritchard, 15, after his third Western Canada Cup. “It felt really good after I got the award because I know I worked (hard).”
